Actually no, the sysadmins are the ones who can fix this. Some time ago, they added a size restriction in order to reduce excessive bandwith resulting from large messages occasionally sent to the lists. This affected commits with huge diffs, and we agreed subsequently to ignore messages exceeding the default size limit if they originate from Savannah: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2008-12/msg00000.html Apparently this stopped working since at least few months, and I intended to reraise the issue again. (I'm adding the RT ticket number to the Subject, which would hopefully reopen it again.)
